Parmigiano-Reggiano is a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state, the artisan's ancient skills, and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 36 months). Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio is aged a full 36 months. At this age, it has a deeper, golden color, and has even more crunchy crystals. Full and fruity with a slightly salty tang, this cheese should be served in chunks with figs or pears or as an appetizer with aperitifs.

For salads, pastas,any fresh dish that needs an added profil. This cheese is a real asset. I will purchase it again.

A huge plus is that igourmet offers unpasteurized cow's milk cheeses. This Parmigiano...is authentic in its flavor. Not only is it used in cooking, but I found this to be a delightful, yummy snack as well... highly recommend
